ZipHearing.com - Don't buy your hearing aids any other way
I had been on a journey to acquire new hearing aids since May 2025. At that time, my 4th and current, 6-year old pair of hearing aids were not providing the level of performance I needed. My current audiologist fitted me with 2 different brands of hearing aids neither of which worked well for me. They also cost well over $6,000 a pair. When I purchased my Unitron's 6 years ago, I was working and my insurance covered $2000 of the cost. Still, I paid $4200 for the pair and some accessories - 6 years ago!!!I I am now retired and on Medicare. I figured if I was going to have to spend that much, that I would look at hearing aid reviews online and get the latest and greatest technology. I found an audiologist who sold the brand of hearing aid I was interested in. I was thrilled when he told me my Medicare supplement plan would provide a discount. The problem is that they don't cover the latest and greatest, but rather those that were 2 generations older. I then saw some reviews in the latest issue of Consumer Report. Based on that, I ordered a pair of Jabra's online, direct from the manufacturer because they got great reviews. When I received them, I called to have them programmed over the phone. Based on an audiology report I provided to them, they said they couldn't do it because my hearing loss was too profound for the max settings on "OTC" hearing aids. I returned them. They did say that if I went to Costco, they could provide a pair of Jabra's that could be programmed. I went to Costco but they fitted me with another brand and they didn't work out. Then I went to Beltone. They were having a special promotion weekend and I thought I found some luck. The hearing aids they provided were the best of all the ones I had tried, but they cost $6300 a pair. Unfortunately, all their promotion provided was 0% financing. I felt certain I was doomed to have to pay that high price to get the hearing Aids I needed. Then I saw the price of the Resound hearing aids (which are made by the same manufacturer and are exactly the same as the Beltone's) on ZipHearing.com. Fearing this was an OTC provider, I hesitated to contact them, but what did I have to lose? As it turns out I had everything to gain. After just moving to Florida in November, I called ZipHearing.com to learn more about them. Grant Davidson informed me that he would connect me with a local audiologist who would be able to fit me with the hearing aids I desired or ones that best suited my needs. That is exactly what happened. I not only got the Resound Hearing Aids but Grant connected me to one of the best audiologists I have had over the life of my hearing aid wearing. Grant was professional, knowledgeable, pleasant, informative, and accommodating. I wish I could find more positive adjectives to describe him. It was truly a pleasure working with him and it was the happiest $3800 dollars I had ever spent. Purchasing hearing aids in any other way than through ZipHearing.com would just be "unheard" of. Thank you Grant!!!! You are simply the best! Better than all the rest!
